if you want to let the debt ceiling lapse, that's on your back. i don't believe the republican party would, even though these 50 or 75 would. but if we don't negotiate with them and isolate them, then -- then we can achieve something. and force in a certain sense the more mainstream republicans not to go along. >> seeing that coalition vote which eventually you had on the fiscal cliff side in the house with essentially all of the democrats and some republicans. >> exactly. >> that may be the future. >> that's the only way to govern. and that's what will get us out of this mess on sandy. but it also is the path with the rest. and the nation has to be aware. the reason we have gridlock is not oh, on the other hand, the other hand, the democrats, the republicans. there are very liberal democrats, but they don't hold things up unless they get their way because they realize they're not a majority of the senate or the house. these hard right republicans do, but only with the cooperation of speaker boehner. and that's why he has been a failure. >> and th

this was an extension of the debt ceiling for more than a year. it would have taken us past the midterm election. this from jay karnies. it says congress must do its job and raise the debt limit it has incurred. it is unford that the common-sense was refused a yes or no vote today. this was a test vote. remember, this would have taken the threat of default off the table and given or nation's businesses and economy the certainty we need. it goes on to urge congress to basically increase the debt ceiling, and to reopen the government. so this vote obviously in the senate, miguel, showing us what's called a clean debt ceiling increase without conditions on it isn't going to get past consequence. the senate obviously is a little more easy, i think, for democrats in the white house to push something through than the house at this point it's not even getting through the senate. so it sort of is indicating what i think a lot of democrats realize, that there has to be some sort of conditions that republicans are trying to work out at this point on increas

he will not negotiate over the debt ceiling. he will not exit measures that will tie debt limit increase to the funding for delaying of the affordable care act, which was passed by congress and upheld by the supreme court. the time to make policy is before, not after we have made commitments. this is a standing president must make clear that under no circumstance with united states failed to pay our bills. the president is going to negotiate over the future debate a fiscal policy. that is what he proposed a budget he believes we to make of the country. included are reforms to the title assistance. he made it clear that he is ready to sit down with republicans and democrats to find common ground. elected leaders have a responsibility to make our economy stronger, not to create manufactured crises they create damage. the last thing we need is a fight over whether we raise the debt ceiling. not when we face challenges domestically and internationally that require our full attention. not when we know the damage that a financial and
